Chiefs Post Season Wrap Up: Best KC BBQ!
Another season gone, and no Super Bowl appearance for my beloved Kansas City Chiefs!
Oh well, no big surprise. The team did well enough and the administration did enough for me to renew my season tickets. Now that Patrick figured out who our home and away opponents are for next year, I can start calling, emailing and Facebooking my buds to see who gets to go to what game, who drives, etc. The life of a die-hard Chiefs fan is truly active year round.
I like to wrap up the season with discussions regarding the experiences, trials and tribulations of an Arrowhead Adventurer like yours truly. It’s a tough life.
I get to talk to players, coaches and cheerleaders. I get to dine at the best BBQ joints on planet Earth and talk football with the best fans in the world. Then I get to relay those experiences to the fantastic people who contribute to AA, the best Kansas City Chiefs fan site there is, in my humble and unbiased opinion.
But you know all that.
Today I’d like to focus a little on the sweet morsels of BBQ that fell off the bone and into my mouth during the 2011 season. I’d like to hear your stories too.
LC’s has hands down, the best ribs in KC. You get a ton for your money. The meat is moist and falls off the bone. L.C. once told me that the best compliment a customer could give him was to forget to put sauce on his meats. I agree. LC’s ribs are unmatched in the world. I like LC’s because during the winter, when the leaves are gone, I can walk down the street and see my beloved Arrowhead in the distance.
Arthur Bryant’s has the best BBQ sandwich. It’s huge and the taste of the beef or pork is indescribable. The atmosphere is much more fun than LC’s but it’s farther away from the stadium. If you want more meat, tip the meat cutter a dollar. Place it right under the sign that says “no tipping”.
Arthur Bryant’s opens at 10 a.m. on game days. Get there at 9 a.m. for some catch on the parking lot. Bang on the window at 9:30, and they will likely let you in.
Gates isn’t the best in any category in my opinion, but it’s still probably in the top 10 BBQ joints on the planet. I like Gates when I’m taking it to the stadium. My buddies and I walk around chewing on rib bones like cave men, playing washers, drinking beer, eying the ladies and talking KC Chiefs football.
Kansas City BBQ is the best in the world. I challenge you to prove me wrong. Arrowhead Stadium is the best stadium in the universe. The two combine to provide the best NFL experience there is. How lucky we are indeed.
